You know, even if it DID or does have to do with feces and the scent of feces it'd not be anything to be ashamed of. Really, your friend is being a dope. If we know anything about human sexuality, we know that what's most normal is difference and variance, and that it's exceptionally difficult to be...

Sounds like you're in a difficult spot, but it also sounds like you're in a really good headspace to work it out, so let's see what we can do.
